Title
Amending Section 9.13(7)(h)3. and 9.13(7)(h)6. and creating Section 9.13(7)(h)5.d. of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify that certain vending sites in the Camp Randall High Density Vending Area may include city owned land and deleting an erroneous reference to sidewalk cafes and merchant vending in the High Density Vending Areas.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance amends Sec. 9.13(7) to allow two new vending sites in the Camp Randall High Density Vending Area to be located on city-owned land that is not the street or sidewalk. Under the Street Vending ordinance, Street Vending occurs only on the street, sidewalk, terrace, or other portions of highway right-of-way. This amendment will allow two new sites (Kiwanis and Shrine Club sites) that were formerly authorized by a city lease to be converted to street vending sites. This ordinance also removes unnecessary references to merchant vending and sidewalk cafes from the section on High Density Vending.
This ordinance is a companion to Resolution Legistar ID # 39096 amending the Regulations Governing Vending in the High Density Vending Area. That resolution converts the Kiwanis and Shrine Club lease sites to vending sites.
